Obama "spokesman" defends $400,000 speaking fee addressing Wall Street...

Why does ex president Obama still have a "Spokesman"?

So he doesn't have to answer questions regarding his income to random people and it offers a layer of protection allowing for plausible deniability and scapegoating?

Because he can afford one?

Because it's his gay lover Bret and Bret needed a job since that pool cleaning gig fell through due to constantly being caught drunk and peeing in them, then doing burnouts on his motorcycle in their front yard after firing him? Such a bad boy!

Because a spokesman is ambulatory and teleprompters aren't?

Is there some reason ex president Obama shouldn't or can't have a spokesman?

Do you know if they are a full time spokesman or if this was one of those "a spokesman for Obama said..." where the press assigns the title to denote that it's more than random rumor and offers legitimacy to what the person is saying?

I think I need a "Spokesman"...for when I come sneaking in at 3am.

Why would they pay that much to hear a known liar speak?

That's how politicians launder money.

And take bribes.

obama is now in private sector

if hewants an agent he can have an agent
...just like sports figures and entertainer

after all he get in front of a group and performs
...sounds like an entertainer to me

he can as you can do anything he wants to make money and charge as much
as anyone is willing to pay it is called free enterprise

why should a football play make 50000$ to paly a game for a couple hours
because people are foolish enough to pay them to do it thats why

why should poeple get paid a million dollars an episode to act in a tv
show

why should a movie star get 40 million dollars to act in a movie like
tom hanks did in forrest gump

if people are foolish enough to pay it they should make it

Lets be fair.. every ex President does the speaking tour thing for as long as they can ride that wave.

Its big bucks just to sit there and B/S and answer questions

I would do it too

because it will be hosted at a hotel in New York, and having a historical figure/US President speak will bring many well paid investors into the city and hotel , in turn MAKING lots more money for the organizers , the hotel, and the businesses in the area...
